I didn't buy him cause i needed to compensate for something (that's what my snakes are for)
m.punja - you remind me of my Neighbour when he wanted one just like you do ,kept saying everything that you are saying...its the media, its how you raise a dog ect ect ,they are illegal but i don't care.
just up the road from me ,this guy owned a nice red nose pitty ,he got her as a pup...the dog was really friendly ,he had a specially made cage, he kept telling me that its how you raise it and treat it ect ect every time i went up there the dog was fine, he loved it , i was really interested as i was planning on getting one of the dogs from one of the litters when it was older and had pups.
after 2 years nothing had went wrong ,best dog he ever had. one day he was putting food in a bowl ,it started eating he gave it a pat on its side , it bit his hand and wouldn't let go for a short period of time. he needed stitches and his tendons in his hands aren't the same any more.
The dog was great, brought up around kids never showed any signs of aggression.
Still baffles me why people keep elapids, ohh thats right they keep them cause they like them and dont care for what others say!!still baffles me why people want breeds like pitbulls. They prove themselves time and time again to be viscious and un-trustworthy. It's a load of crap the arguement 'it's not the dog, it's how its raised'
It still baffles me why people are allowed to keep venomous snakes and huge pythons......... They prove themselves time and time again to be unpredictable and dangerous......
Wasn't someone just bitten on the face by a brown? There have been a couple of deaths this year in the USA of children being asphyxiated by big pythons.........
ALL ANIMALS HAVE POTENTIAL TO BE DANGEROUS. If you choose to keep any of these animals then you need to take the required precaution to avoid such things happening. Why blame it on the animal?
We have a pit bull x staffy. He is 7 years old now and he is the puppy of my sisters dogs. He can not be trusted with our animals (chickens, birds, reptiles etc) as he does like to play a little too rough. But having said that we also have an elderly dog who he adores and also a little chihuahua!!!! All 3 dogs play amongst themselves very contently.
Do we leave ANY of our dogs unattended with children around? NO
Do we feed ANY of our dogs while people are over? NO
Do we keep ALL of our dogs on a leash? YES
Do we have a well fenced and gated yard? YES
That is being responsible, to avoid ANYTHING happening with ANY of our dogs.
As for these dogs being aggressive...... if there were accurate stats that show dog attacks by breed you will find it is mainly small dogs as the offenders. How many of you have been bitten or snapped at by a big dog? I myslef have always been a dog fan, have owned a few, and have friends and family with dogs. I can honestly say i have NEVER been snapped at by a large breed. How many of you know of small dogs who are snappy? Growl at u, bite? Oh but thats ok cos they are cute when they have their bad little tempers.
It is just a shame that when these larger breeds on occasion do turn, the damage they cause is extreme compared to ALL those little dogs with attitude that bite people everyday!
I am not so ANTI pitbull ..as I am ANTI owner ....all dogs have the potential to attack this is true ...SIZE does matter to the effects of damage /death that could come from an attack ...but the sad reality is ,and I am not saying this to any one individual ..BUT a % of those type of dog owners have a bad attitude which is passed onto the dog/s by the way they are encouraged to act and treated and so the stigma sticks like glue ...maybe instead of banning the dog ...we should be banning those type of people from owning them instead ...
YouTube - Pitbull attacks!!!
and this says alot ...
RBB go check the hospital records in Perth were a 2 year old girl had her face half ripped off by a maltese terrier, not making it to the media because it isnt a dangerous breed. You only hear of the large breed dogs due to the extent of injury. If you check your facts more than 7000 people are hospitalised every year because of dog attacks, how many do you hear about? I only know this due to research I had to do when preparing arguments for our rottie club when politicians have been going off half cocked not understanding what is happening when it comes to dog bites.
Pitbulls are not illegal to own, they are a restricted breed, not banned....RSPCA will also tell you its ok to kill a snake, I have heard that personally.
